Thanks for the replies but I seem to have messed it up! I stoped CF, zipped up the
'cf.registry'
and downloaded it. Put it into BBEdit and deleted everything that was repeated, ie
most of the
lines starting:
hkey_local_machine\software\allaire\coldfusion\currentversion\clients\100000-16063988:502410196
HITCOUNT: 1; REG_SZ
LASTVISIT: {ts '2002-12-22 10:13:51'}; REG_SZ
TIMECREATED: {ts '2002-12-22 10:13:51'}; REG_SZ
I just left 5 entries like this with the original 'header' and 'footer'. This is
obviously not the
right thing to do as having uploaded it and restarted CF it told me that our copy had
expired! It
then said that the registry needed to be updated (I think). Fearing that I had messed
it all up, I
deleted the 'cf.registry' and moved back into the 'registry' folder the original
'cf.registry'.
BUT CF now won't start! What is the best thing to do?!!! Have rebooted twice but
still no joy -
delete the registry complete and re-install?!
Thanks.
Matt.
